Absolutely perfect- we took a last minute overnight stay in a beautiful October weekend and were delighted. James and Claire have a lovely small holding with goats, pigs, chickens, alpacas (as guards to protect the chickens from fox attack - every day a school day!) and home grown fruit and veg.
The camping is divided up into small fields with around 10 generous sized pitches per field surrounded by mature trees - and the free range hens! The toilet and shower blocks are spotless - the choice of sustainable loo roll says a lot about James and Claire’s general ethics and world view. The Blue Rabbit café - opening hours vary a little during the season but 9.30-12ish - sells a delicious brunch menu which Claire happily mixes and matches and was able to produce a delicious gluten free option from their own pork produce.
Pizza (wood fired) available Friday nights (if booked in advance) - from the on-site pizza oven.
Miles of walks around and a great parish council children’s play area just in the edge of the campsite. 5 minutes from beautiful unspoilt beaches of Shingle Street (location for filing of ‘Yesterday’ and Bawdsey.
Firepits for hire make for an amazing fly relaxed evening. Pub a few minutes walk.
And to top it all off - dog friendly!
Really amazing campsite, really clean toilet blocks and warm showers. Good washing up facilities and generous pitches. Firepits and logs available to hire which is lovely; being marshmallows and sticks so you can toast them 😋
A lovely little campsite that I don’t want to tell you about as I want to keep it a secret! We stayed Monday - Friday (noon to noon) during the school holidays. The site is very relaxed in terms of not needing to check into reception prior to accessing your pitch… all of which is explained very clearly in the booking confirmation email which outlines all site information. The good size pitches (with or without hook-up) are set in amongst mature and and some younger trees which sees the site divided into small avenue fields. The main toilet / shower facilities consist of two pretty new side by side blocks (unisex) that are in very good condition and are kept mega clean. Also on the site is a more traditional / older block which again is kept mega clean.
Within the site there are compounds with goats, chickens, pigs and alpacas, which can be fed during an organised event for kids & adults. The site is adjacent to a kids playground and a little football pitch along with access to loads of countryside on footpaths, bridle ways and bye ways.
During our stay the site never felt busy and was very quiet from about 9.30pm onwards.
Thanks and see you again!
